    “ every single day I would see different aircraft take to the skies, I always wonder what adventure they are going off to do next. Each day I would hear the roars of the engines as birds of steel and prey hum over my heads. Every time I get a newer member of the crew, they would watch in curiosity. “Captain,” they would say, “ where are the binoculars, “I want a closer look.”

    The Welton also have side guns in the triangle window as they do not have a top guner. The Welton is made like the hurricane with a metal skeleton covered with lining and painted with dual paint so it drys rock hard which means it can take a lot of punishment and still get home on one engine if necessary. My father was a navigator and weather metrologist for the the RAF and flew on Weltons from England then Egypt and India where he flew in Liberators from Mali-field Airport base.

    never could grasp why the RAF stuck with the .303 in bomber defense for so very long right to end of war when you can see how ineffective they really were. That 110 flew thru an absolute rain of .303 bullets and was just smoking a little. Its not like they didn't have the .50 Vickers in the RN and on British tanks so the RAF could easily have asked for those as far back as 1930's
